How was your recruiting process?

Fortunately it went really smoothly for me. I committed in August heading into my Junior year and I found it to be more exciting than stressful.

What were the reasons behind your verbal commitment?

A combination of strong academics and top D1 lacrosse was really important in my decision, so ultimately Virginia seemed like the perfect place for me. I felt so comfortable with the coaching staff as soon as I met them and I could totally envision myself playing there. I loved everything about it.

How would you describe your style of lacrosse and what do you believe your strengths are?

My style is dynamic and unique compared to other girls. I think my strengths are my tight stick work, my ability to attack one-on-one and in heavy traffic, and my speed and endurance in the midfield.

What aspects of your game would you like to work on throughout the rest of your college career?

I plan on becoming a more complete player overall, improving in every aspect on the defensive end and increasing my shot percentage. I’d also like to expand my dodging and shooting variety.

Being twins, is there a certain feature that people use to tell the two of you apart? Any interesting “twin” connections you two have, particularly on the lacrosse field?

Everyone seems to have their own individual ways to tell us apart, but I think the bottom line is it’s pretty hard no matter what once we get out on the field with the same uniforms and gear.

It’s funny, everyone asks about the “twin connection” and we definitely have it. It’s pretty clear to people watching when they see us get the ball to each other in tight spaces and at unexpected times. I just feel like I always have a sense of where Brooke is on the field without having to look for her or communicate with her. It’s a cool advantage to have.
